> Can you show me how fast coding is in vim?

The tongue in cheek answer: My ability to code quickly is held back by my ability to create code structures in my mind, not type code into an editor.

I appreciate vim not because it's faster, but because I don't have to think about using a mouse, and I can just have a conversation with the editor.

"Correct inside these parenthesis" ci(

"Insert the text 'func Something() error {'"

"Delete three lines and paste them above the current line" 3ddP

"Goto the definition" gd

"Go back" C-o

"Write to disk and quit" :wq
